Wouldn’t this not work? You can only mount things s as size larger. I think humans and bug bears are both medium.
Ahem, rule of cool.
That would require the idea to be cool, not just 'I give him a boost' with extra steps.
Probably wasn’t kosher RAW, but none of us had any idea what we were doing at the time.
IIRC, we chose the bugbear because it was the only playable large option in the books we had (listed as med/large), but I could definitely be misremembering.
They're Medium, but they have Powerful Build, which means they count as one size larger when determining their carrying capacity and the weight they can push, drag, or lift.
In 2024, humans can be Small, but then the halfling won't fit. And if a bugbear was Large, it wouldn't fit on a warhorse.
Maybe they cast a growth spell on the warhorse first.
mount on top of yes. mount behind, same size
